"Hmm... so you possess the Thunder God's bloodline. What a pity, though—such a blessed mana vessel can only do so much," the elder remarked. "Still, you show decent aptitude as a magic warrior with thief skills. Let's meet again in the Tower next time."
With that, the glowing pillar faded.
It was a surprise for everyone who witnessed Renault's status. They also recognized his unique mana and his skill in dodging close combat attacks. However, as the elder mentioned, his talents might seem exceptional now, but in the Tower, where thousands of gifted people compete, his abilities would be considered subpar.
Thus, with just a few parting words, the competition came to an end.
Dale and the chief were proud, showering Renault with praise. But Renault longed for the approval of only one person—his teacher, Lord Fate. He wanted to prove that he was the right choice as his disciple.
